This is a substantial performance gain for me, since all this time I been using Celeron 300A. Since 1998; but because I wanted to do some video encoding/editing I needed a more powerful system. In additional, I would like to learn/play with 3D program such as Maya, 3D Studio Max and Lightwave.

Please feel free to comment on my future system.
